Derek Ryan to play Burnavon in Cookstown

This week the praised concert tour from Derek Ryan and his band will be stopping off at the Burnavon for what is to be his best concert tour yet.

People are expected to come from near and far to catch a glimpse of the ‘Entertainer Of The Year’ on Thursday and Friday night, which has been selling fast since going on release in November.

Singer/ songwriter, Derek Ryan had released his most recent album, ‘One Good Night’, last year, which topped the charts on the week of its release. 2015 was a whirlwind of success for Derek, and he plans to make this year even better, starting it off by crossing the Atlantic to begin recording his forthcoming album in Nashville.

Growing up, Ryan was surrounded by a family love of traditional Irish music and would also listen to “the Nashville greats”, including Garth Brooks, on his mother’s radio in the kitchen, so recording in America’s Music City was something that had always been in the back of his mind.

“It was a chance to break all the rules, really break free from the shackles. It’s going to be the most progressive album yet – I’m telling you now,” he said.

The award winning concert tour includes a mix of old favourites, classic country and Derek’s own original material, so join the heart throb and his band for a show–stopping night!
